ing like it has ever been seen or heard here before. It eclipses anything ever done on stage or screen. To say it's a sensation is putting it mildly. Never before such a luxury of beauty... such deliciously intimate wit and humor... such com- pelling songs and music... and the line-up of stars looks like the Hollywood city directory!
